Lapho ucabanga ngesono sakho, bheka inkazimulo kaJesu
UJesu wathatha uPetru, uJakobe nomfowabo uJohane wahola nabo bodwa waya entabeni ende. Waguqulwa isimo phambi kwabo; ubuso bakhe bakhanya njengelanga nezingubo zakhe zaba mhlophe njengokukhanya. UMathewu 17: 1-2
Yeka umugqa othakazelisayo ngenhla: "umhlophe njengokukhanya". Imhlophe kanjani into "emhlophe njengokukhanya?"
Kuleli sonto lesibili leLente, sinikezwa isithombe sethemba likaJesu oguqulwe isimo ngaphansi kwamehlo kaPetru, uJakobe noJohane. Bafakaza ukunambitheka okuncane kwenkazimulo yakhe yaphakade nobukhazikhazi njengeNdodana kaNkulunkulu noMuntu Wesibili kaZiqu-zintathu Ongcwele. Bamangala, bamangala, bamangala futhi bagcwala injabulo enkulu kakhulu. Ubuso bukaJesu bukhanya njengelanga nezingubo zakhe zimhlophe qwa, zimsulwa, zikhazimula kangangoba zikhanya njengokukhanya okukhazimula nokumsulwa ongakucabanga.
Kungani kwenzeke? Kungani uJesu akwenze lokhu futhi kungani avumela laba baPhostoli abathathu ukuthi babone lo mcimbi okhazimulayo? Futhi ukucabanga ngokuqhubekayo, kungani sizindla ngalesi sigameko ekuqaleni kweLente?
Kalula nje, iLent yisikhathi sokuhlola izimpilo zethu futhi ubone izono zethu ngokucacile. Yisikhathi esinikwa sona minyaka yonke sokumisa ukudideka kwempilo nokubhekisisa kabusha indlela esihamba kuyo. Ukubheka izono zethu kungaba nzima. Kungakhungathekisa futhi kungasilinga ekucindezelekeni, ekuphelelweni yithemba nakuphela ithemba. Kepha isilingo sokuphelelwa yithemba kufanele sinqotshwe. Futhi ayinqotshwa ngokunganaki isono sethu, kunalokho, kuyanqotshwa ngokuguqula amehlo ethu emandleni nasenkazimulweni kaNkulunkulu.
Ukuguqulwa isimo kungumcimbi onikezwe laba baPhostoli abathathu ukubanikeza ithemba njengoba belungiselela ukubhekana nokuhlupheka nokufa kukaJesu.Banikezwa lo mbukiso wenkazimulo nethemba njengoba belungiselela ukubona uJesu bemukela izono zabo futhi bathwale izono zabo. imiphumela.
Uma sibhekene nesono ngaphandle kwethemba, siyakuphela. Kepha uma sibhekana nesono (isono sethu) ngesikhumbuzo sokuthi uJesu ungubani nokuthi wasenzela ini, khona-ke ukubhekana nesono sethu ngeke kusihoxe ekudumeni kepha ekunqobeni naseNkazimulweni.
Ngesikhathi abaPhostoli bebuka futhi bebona uJesu eguquka isimo, bezwa izwi livela eZulwini lithi: “Lo yiNdodana yami ethandekayo, engithokozile ngayo; lalela yena "(Mt 17: 5b). UBaba wakhuluma ngalokhu ngoJesu, kodwa futhi uyafisa ukukhuluma ngomunye nomunye wethu. Kumele sibone ukuphela kanye nomgomo wempilo yethu ekuguqulweni. Kumele sazi, ngokuqiniseka okujulile, ukuthi uBaba ufisa ukusiguqula sibe ngukukhanya okumhlophe kakhulu, asuse sonke isono futhi asinike isithunzi esikhulu sokuba yindodana noma indodakazi yaKhe yangempela.
Cabanga ngesono sakho namuhla. Kepha yenza lokho ngenkathi ucabanga nangokuguqulwa nokukhazimula kweNkosi yethu yaphezulu. Weza ukuzonikeza sonke lesi sipho sobungcwele. Leli wubizo lwethu. Lesi yisithunzi sethu. Yilokhu okumele sibe yikho, futhi ukuphela kwendlela yokwenza lokhu ukuvumela uNkulunkulu ukuthi asihlanze kuzo zonke izono ezimpilweni zethu futhi asidonsele empilweni yakhe ekhazimulayo yomusa.
Nkosi yami eguqukile, wawukhanya ubukhazikhazi phambi kwamehlo abaPhostoli bakho ukuze bakwazi ukufakaza ngobuhle bempilo esibabizelwe sonke. Ngalesi sikhathi sokubolekwa, ngisize ngibhekane nesono sami ngesibindi futhi ngithembele kuwe nasemandleni akho hhayi nje ekuthetheleleni kepha nasekuguquleni. Ukufa kwami ngifela esonweni ngokujulile kunangaphambili ukwaba ngokugcweleyo inkazimulo yempilo yakho yaphezulu. Jesu ngiyakholelwa kuwe.
